Then plz say exactly what u did.

You download HTC SuperTools v2, right?

And then?

I have radio 0.9
[HTC Wildfire S] ryhamster:
made sure htc software wasnt on my pc and installed the htc drivers provided on the page install them started the program chose the 1 then let it run then did root, s-off and unlock bootloader
[HTC Wildfire S] ONeill123:
Unlock bootloader is using htcdev, right? That doesn't funct i think.

And Attempt s-off is using gfree, but i will try, wait
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
I've tried all I can with every version of Super Tool v2 I could find, even the chinese version with their custom drivers. NOTHING WORKED. HBOOT 1.080.0000

@ryhamster - looks like you got lucky with it really.
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
I really wish everyone would put all their efforts into a successful software based s-off so I NEVER have to hear about it again! :p

Anything I can do to help. Let me know. I have an XTC Clip and 2 S-OFF Wildfire S's
[HTC Wildfire S] ONeill123:
@ryhamster:

You're certain you weren't already shipped S-OFF?
[HTC Wildfire S] ryhamster:
OMFG I JUST REMEMBERED WE GOT IT UNLOCKED AT SOME SHOP IN MY TOWN IF HE USED AN XTC CLIP TO UNLOCK IT COULD HAVE PUSHED FILES OVER READY FOR AN S-OFF COMMAND oh my days im some silly bugger so if i can file dump all the files to do with the s-off and that we might have a way of using them files to program into a way that it could unlock it for everyone if someone wants to help out with the file dumping tell me

and yes im very sure as i tryed to mod it before i found the tools that s-offed it for me as it has orange bloatware riddled on it

Impel is an automation and task creation utility for your phone or your tablet running Android 2.1 through 4.0.

Unlike other utilities, Impel is designed to be simple to use, easy to maintain, very low on memory consumption and polite to system resources (runs as a service or as an app - you choose). Root features are available but it runs just fine without root (su features will be hidden). It is worth noting that on Galaxy Nexus devices there is a force close issue if you use the lock screen camera button. We know about this issue and are working on a fix for this now.

Give Impel a try and see if you like it, then let us know. We're a small developer with some great talent and fast feedback response times, we're just looking for more customers and feedback. There are two versions of the app available in two different storefronts:

Free version with in-app Plus upgrade (no ads) :

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.phase2i.impel

Plus version only :

http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/dl/android?p=com.phase2i.impel

[Android Apps and Games] WiwiPouPou:
Tested and upgraded, takes 34mb of ram, Tasker takes 5,4mb for exacly the same tasks... :/ so for now..

Will wait a little before reinstall it ! :)

But, really good job, very easier ! Will retry later !

[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
Hmm, interesting feedback on the memory usage. Is that 34MB while in use and the UI isn't being shown? I think there is something odd happening there.

I would be curious to know your device, OS and task setup. By comparison my heavily loaded Impel with 11 tasks using all types of receivers is only 6.9MB while running in app mode. The most I've ever seen Impel use in recent versions is 11MB. My goto, daily device is a Galaxy Nexus running 4.0.2 with Impel 1.1.0 on it.
[Android Apps and Games] WiwiPouPou:
I got a SGS i9000 with a stock modded (themed and lmk tweaked) JVZ 2.3.6, i haven't got any oyher memory issue and i use very few apps to limit services.

Impel set up as "Quiet", UI closed with sgs task manager (so really closed).

My tasks are :

2 tasks to set media volume with headset plug in or out.

2 tasks to set autosync on/off when power is plugged in/out !

Edit : just retried, 25mo in memory for the processus !

-------------------------

[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
Very odd. How are you determining the memory in use by Impel on your device?

One other thing to check against is to set Impel to disable the tasks and see what is reported then. From within Impel, press Menu, Settings, and check Disable all tasks and exit to the launcher. In this state Impel will have shutdown all services and removed everything from a running state. In essence, it should not be around in memory at all when you reach the home screen.

If your phone still reports Impel as using memory at this point, the memory usage issue lies outside of our control.

Support language Polish please

Sent from my Htc Desire Runnymede AIO
[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
linar10,

We haven't yet provided localized versions for any language, but I will add your request to the list. I would imagine that there would be other languages in the queue ahead of Polish due to the distribution of the app, however. I just want to set expectations appropriately.

As a more general question to the XDA forum, how do most apps from small developers handle localization? It is quite costly to do this work for apps that haven't made much money (that includes Impel at this point) and it seems that most apps are English or developer-native-language only that we see on the Android Market. Are there well known ways to get translations for less that actually are useful?
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
This looks promising. Will try later tonight if I have time.

As for localization, I've done many translations of software from English to French on different platforms free of charge (or nearly).

I've seen others do the same, I think you'd be surprised to see how many people are ready to translate software, given that you provide them with an easy to use solution/way of translating strings and seeing the changes made. :)

I've done games and apps translations in the past and I've been rewarded with the software itself for free (plus credits for translation) or a small monetary compensation in the form of a cheque or gift card. Good enough incentives in my opinion, I absolutely HATE when a developer uses google translate or any other automatic translation tool for their software.
[Android Apps and Games] linar10:
An example how is terminated that competition http://muzikant-android.blogspot.com/2011/07/translateit-automateit-with-your.html (sorry my bad english)
[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
OK, thanks for the feedback on the translation work. We will have to look into this for Impel at some point in the future. We don't yet have a way to give away Plus versions of the app, or comp someone who buys it, but that may be possible in the future.

Getting folks to do translations for free, and not put nonsense or bad words into those translations, is certainly a big concern. Not sure how everyone else handles those cases but it is something I worry about.
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
Makes sense, I imagine you can counter verify by having more than one translator working on one language.

I don't think this issue has ever popped up in the past though, as unlikely as it seems. Some people simply have nice intentions. :p
[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
polobunny, thanks for the input. Perhaps we'll call on you to help us with French at some point in the future, then :)
[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
Hello again from the Impel HQ.

For those folks who would like to help test and provide feedback on an updated version of Impel, we have a release candidate for you to take a look at. A couple of fixes and additions have made it into this version, but no major features. Here's what's inside:

Fixed a crash when using the "camera swipe unlock" feature on Galaxy Nexus Android 4.x devices

Fixed a crash with the "network only" location provider service (not using GPS)

Fixed the color picker for very high dpi (Galaxy Nexus, Tablets) devices

Added a new setting: Location Services - restrict Impel to just GPS, just Network, or both

Added detailed location logging into the logcat stream

This build is an install-over-the-top version for Android Market customers only. Sorry about that, Amazon Appstore customers, but there is no way to do beta releases for your version at this time.

If you have Impel Plus, DO NOT uninstall Impel prior to installing this version or you WILL LOSE Plus functions. If you are a free customer this app works the same as your existing Impel does.

For people who want to see what Impel sees when it asks for locations, use your favorite logcat reader (ours is Catlog) and filter for Impel. You will see what Impel is seeing when it asks for a location from your device. The location data works like this:

Ask the device for all location services that are available: GPS and Network (WiFi and cell towers)

Device responds with all services and their accuracy level. The lower the number, the more accurate the service

Impel automatically chooses the most accurate service and gets the location data. This data is provided in Lat/Long format. This data can be dropped right into Google Maps to show exactly where the device thinks it is currently

Please give this a test and tell us what you think. We look forward to your feedback. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
Hello again. We've taken some more feedback in and have made some additional fixes and updates based on customer input:

* Fixed a crash when using the "camera swipe unlock" feature on Galaxy Nexus Android 4.x devices

* Fixed a crash with the "network only" location provider service (not using GPS)

* Fixed the color picker for very high dpi (Galaxy Nexus, Tablets) devices

* Fixed a WiFi receiver crash in location services

* Added a new setting: Location Services - restrict Impel to just GPS, just Network, or both

* Added detailed location logging into the logcat stream

* Added in-app logging of tasks in chronological order

* Added an additional boot-start permission to fix cases where Impel doesn't always auto-start

Grab a copy of the APK from post #2 and let us know how it works for you. Note: this version is meant to be installed on top of an existing Impel setup from the Android Market only. Amazon Appstore customers cannot use the betas, sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
We just released, posted and are starting to see the first bits of version 1.1.1 trickling out into the Android Market. Amazon Appstore folks will have to wait a bit longer for the approval process to see the new bits.

Our thanks goes out to those of you who tried the beta and gave us feedback. It was invaluable and you will find your fixes made it into this release version.

For all the details take a quick look over at our release notes post on our web site. The highlights are below for your perusal:

New setting: Location Services - restrict Impel to use GPS, Network or both

Added detailed location logging into the logcat stream

New stats: Task history shows a chronological list of when tasks were last run

New permission: additional boot-start permission to fix cases where Impel won't always auto-start

Fixed a crash when using the "camera swipe unlock" feature on Galaxy Nexus Android 4.x devices

Fixed "add widget" text to be correct for Android 4.x devices

Fixed a crash with the "network only" location provider service (not using GPS)

Fixed the color picker for very high dpi (Galaxy Nexus, Tablets) devices

Fixed a WiFi receiver crash in location services

General Fixes - some little issues were found and improved upon

Let us know what you think of it, we do hope you'll like it.
[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
We've had quite a few people ask us "what is Impel" and "what can it do?"

So we put together a short, 30 second video with some highlights to explain it. Take a look and see for yourself what Impel can do.

Watch what can Impel do? on YouTube.
[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
Hello there folks. We have had some customers periodically contact us, saying that Impel will lose all of their tasks at some interval (e.g. every week, every few days, etc.). We have researched this issue but have so far been unable to determine the cause and we have not seen this issue on any of our test devices.

We don't know if this issue impacts only a few people (since we've gotten just a handful of emails) or many. So, if you have this issue please contact us! It is very important that we capture all of the details of your device, your tasks, and the exact situations where this task loss occurs. Without your assistance we will continue to look for the issue, but it will be a much slower and more painful fixing process.

Thanks for your help and patience.

widgets

Are there any plans to introduce App Icons for task widgets?

Would like to set up a widget activated task to turn on WiFi then launch. Play store but using the play store icon.

Tasker does this but I don't like the app, UI is too complicated.
[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
peterevans9, thanks for the suggestion. We will certainly look into this, although I'm unsure of the timing for adding such a feature. Right now we have some fixes we would like to get into a new release that would help stability, but we can look at what it would take to add icon support.

For our future reference and research: How are you imagining this feature would work? Would you somehow provide your own image? Would the icon from the selected app be used automatically? Some other method would provide the icon?

Thanks for the input!
[Android Apps and Games] peterevans9:
Use the App icon I suppose, this is how it is at moment.

Launching play store, fb, browser, Dock mode. The app icons would be a nice touch.
[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
peterevans9, thanks for the feedback. We are just beginning to work through all of the customization UI work on our other app, Recast, so I think we will probably wait until we have it figured out and stable there before including it into Impel. In any case, your suggestion is noted and we have it on our watch list now.
[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
After a bit of a delay, we posted Impel 1.1.2 today for Google Play customers. Here are the highlights:

New: Time repeating tasks - can now create events that occur every X hours and Y minutes

New: Some devices can now stop apps without root permission

Fixed cases where Android 4.x devices couldn't obtain Plus upgrade (big fix!)

Fixed cases where some devices experienced corrupt Impel task database (big fix!)

Fixed cases where app could hang if network or data service available

It is rolling out across the Play Store servers now. Amazon update will come later. Let us know how it works for you.
[Android Apps and Games] zetsui:
could someone else comment on wakelock ytiggers and memory useage?
[Android Apps and Games] Sigvic:
I've installed the new version today and the plus version is now correctly recognized on Nexus 4 and 7. As for memory usage it still seems a bit high, at 36mb on my N7 with 5 tasks on, and 71mb on my N4 with 9 tasks on. There are 7 and 14 mb taken up by the play store for the N7 and N4 respectively.

---------- Post added at 03:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

I'd like to make a couple requests that would much improve this app for me. First of all, I'd love to have the notion of setting a time range as a condition, to set for example a condition like "WiFi disabled AND time between 0800 and 0830".

Secondly, it would be nice to be able to set AND/OR relations between conditions, unless I'm mistaken it's currently only possible to use AND.

Finally, I was hoping to set a task to deactivate the screen lock when I connect to my home WiFi, but neither the "WiFi connected" condition nor the "disable screen lock" function works on my devices. Is this a 4.2 issue?
[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
zetsui, what are your questions? I will try to get answers for them when I next talk do the engineers.
[Android Apps and Games] greeshan:
Latest version work great! I like it! Best of its kind.
[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
Sigvic, thanks for the feedback.

I have Impel running on two devices with me, a Galaxy Nexus (4.1.1) and a Nexus 10 (4.2.1) and the memory usage varies greatly by both device and OS version. On the Nexus 10, Impel uses only 4.3 MB when the UI is not in use or shown. On the Galaxy Nexus, Impel is using 28 MB while the UI is in the foreground. As soon as Impel is pushed into the background its memory usage will drop.

Time range conditions are already supported: Look at the "Only If" or "Restrictions" section of your task while editing it.

We don't have plans to support OR due to the large amount of negative feedback given during Impel's beta period. It was too difficult for the majority of folks to figure out and it led Impel to trigger when people didn't expect it to. I can ask again, but I don't see this as a near-term option.

Yes, the screen lock feature has been DOA since Android 4.0. Google has removed things they deem security risks, and disabling the lock screen was high on the list, evidently. I'm not aware of any way using published APIs to get around this limitation. WiFi triggers, however, do work fine.
[Android Apps and Games] winsettr:
I just updated my Gnex to 4.2.1 (CM10.1M1) and Impel no longer deactivates wifi for me. I have tried my usual time trigger and tried a widget trigger without success. Interestingly, Impel has no problem turning wifi back on... Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
winsettr, thanks for letting us know. WiFi issues aren't something we've had reported as an issue before. We'll look into this and post back what we find out.
[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
OK, we can reproduce the issue on our own Galaxy Nexus running CM 10.1, so we will look into it. Thanks for letting us know.

One odd thing, however: on the Nexus 10 with the same CM 10.1, 4.2.1 OS, the WiFi on/off features do work. Something odd is happening with the GalNexus, evidently.
[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
We found out this evening that the WiFi issue is caused by a "fix" in CM 10.1. It impacts our apps Impel and Recast, Tasker, and many others. Unfortunately there isn't anything we can do about it, except to wait for someone on the CM team to back out the changes that caused the problem.

You can read all about it here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tasker/8uq0dDJjNIA/discussion
[Android Apps and Games] winsettr:
Interesting, looks like it might have been reverted in the nightlies. Thanks for the update.
[Android Apps and Games] winsettr:
This issue was fixed for me by switching to the latest Lean Kernel. Thanks for the help!
[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
Thanks for the update. We also just found that Google eliminated 3rd party APIs for toggling airplane mode, so this impacts Impel as well. Thanks for the non-notice, Google!
[Android Apps and Games] Ozgurce:
Why is that?
[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
Özgürce, evidently Google has changed something in the Play Store recently with regards to currencies, pricing, or available markets. We have flagged Turkey as supported, so once Google pushes that change out to all its servers you should be able to get it. Sorry about that.

Enable / Desable GPS on Galaxy S3 4G

Hello,

Impel+ version is installed on my Galaxy S3 4G (GT-I9305) with Android 4.1.2.

It seems that the task "enable GPS" doesn't work on Galaxy S3 4G when the event "bluetooth connected to my car" occurs.

Same for "disable GPS" when "bluetooth disconnected from my car"

Could you please check ?

thank you
[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
Lavie, since Android 4.0, Google no longer supports non-system apps having the ability to turn GPS on or off. This was something that Google gave no warning about and there is no way for us to re-enable the feature. This change impacted all task and widget apps, so there aren't any apps that support this function any longer that we are aware of.
